Las Vegas is one of the best places in the world to go out drinking, and those doing it without alcohol also have great options here. Many of the Valley’s top cocktail bars and watering holes are amping up their NA offerings this month, including the trio of lounges known as the Cocktail Collective at Venetian and Palazzo.
Electra Cocktail Club is tweaking the traditional Mai Tai with the Byron Bay, made with passion fruit, ginger and lime. The intimate Rosina reconfigures popular party drink the Hurricane with the creation of the Virgin Islands Cooler, tropical flavors set off by house-made ginger syrup. And the Dorsey’s Garden Party cocktail will make your New Year’s resolutions complete with its healthy ingredients of green apple, cucumber, mint and lime.
Always one of the most trustworthy cocktail spots in Chinatown, Sparrow + Wolf is serving up “proofless” libations, including the nostalgia-inducing Orange Creamsicle (orange juice, vanilla bean and soda) and Sage Me From Myself, cold-pressed blueberry and raspberry juice with fresh fennel, pineapple, lemon, sage and demerara cane sugar.
If you’re in need of something a little lighter and more refreshing, check out the CraftHaus Brewery taprooms in Henderson and Downtown Las Vegas. These folks just dropped HopSwell, a sparkling hop-infused water with zero calories, zero sugar and zero booze but plenty of juicy fruit notes and hoppy zing. Anyone who’s tried NA beers in recent years knows they’ve come a long way, and it’s exciting to see a local brewer jump on board.
